DemocracyNow.org - A new study reveals that 25 of the nation's largest corporations paid more money to their CEOs last year than they did to the federal government in income taxes. Often using overseas tax havens, many of the corporations managed to make billions in profits but paid little to nothing in federal taxes. In many cases the companies received large tax rebates. The list includes some of the country's best known companies, such as Ford, Coca-Cola, Verizon, General Electric and eBay. The same study found that the ratio of CEO pay to that of the average worker in the United States jumped to 325-to-1 last year. Democracy Now! speaks to the study's co-author, Chuck Collins, a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies and director of its program on Inequality and the Common Good. "What these companies do is they use a variety of tax loopholes, corporate loopholes to gain down their taxes. These are what I would call the champions in the tax gymnastics department," says Collins.

In 2009, Brown received much media attention after pleading guilty to felony assault of his then girlfriend, singer Rihanna; he was sentenced to five years of probation and six months of community service. His third album Graffiti was released later that year, and included the top-twenty single "I Can Transform Ya". Brown's fourth album F.A.M.E. (2011) became his first to top the Billboard 200; it spawned the successful singles "Yeah 3x", "Look at Me Now", and "Beautiful People". F.A.M.E. earned Brown his first Grammy Award for Best R&B Album at the 54th Grammy Awards. His fifth album Fortune was released in 2012. However, after the release of Exclusive, Brown's albums have not been well received commercially or by music critics, with the exception of X, which received a normalized rating of 63.

Setting CEO Pay Executive Compensation

Setting CEO Pay Executive Compensation

Setting CEO Pay Executive Compensation

In 1980, the average CEOs compensation was about 42 times what the average worker was paid, and by 2007, CEOs received about 344 times the average worker salary. Theres a debate over whether this ballooning of executive compensation is a failure of corporate governance, evidence of abuse of power, or just a reflection of market forces -- that top CEOs must be paid top dollar, or theyll take their (presumably irreplaceable) talents to other organizations. But how do companies arrive at these astronomical sums?
In this edition of SmithBusiness Close-Up with the University of MarylandsRobert H. SmithSchool of Business, Michael Faulkender, assistant professor of finance, shares his findings from research into executive compensation practices and how firms decide what to pay their CEOs. Faulkenders research focuses on empirical corporate finance, primarily in the areas of capital structure, risk management, corporate, liquidity, and executive compensation. His research has received recognition and awards from top academic journals and he has been awarded a research grant from the FDICCenter for Financial Research, which was accompanied by an appointment to serve as a fellow of the center during the term of the grant. He is a member of the American Finance Association, the Western Finance Association, and the Society of Financial Studies.

Lyrics:
Yo,
Tell me fellas have you seen her? (Seen her)
It was about five minutes ago
When I seen the hottest chick
That a young'n
Never seen before
I said Yo,
Tell her girls I want to meet her (meet her)
On second thought that ain't the way to go
I got give her game proper
Spit it so she'll get it
There she is I got to stop her
Or should I talk about her smile? (It's been said before)
Or what about her style? (Too obvious)
I'm out of time
She's out the door
I got to go for mine
I think I'll say
Yo
I don't know your name but excuse me miss
I saw you from across the room
And I got to admit that you got my attention
You're making me want to say yo
I know you're trying to leave but excuse me miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me oh baby

Joe Downey, EVP and global client advocate at Willis, joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWise 2015: NAREIT’s Law, Accounting and FinanceConference held in Phoenix.
Willis is a leading global risk advisor, insurance and reinsurance broker.
Downey observed that the property insurance market is a particularly low-priced environment at this time.
“With returns down for so many different classes of investment, people have sought higher returns in the insurance market. Right now there’s a tremendous amount of capital chasing return in the insurance industry,” he said.
Asked how REITs should take advantage of the trend, Downey urged the sector to be “smart” with regard to how it presents itself to the insurance marketplace.
“As these greater pools of high-end capital come in they are seeking a pretty sophisticated set of data points from the REITs to be able to estimate what their costs should be… how much credit they can give them,” he said.
Downey also urged REITs to consider a wide swath of insurance companies, including those located abroad.
Meanwhile, Downey said REITs should be prepared for the point when capital exits the insurance market. Downey pointed out that REITs would be advised to hold back funds that would be spent on insurance, and do other things from a risk management standpoint.
Turning to potential cyber liability issues facing REITs, Downey said the industry faces more of a threat from classified business information being stolen than credit card information.

DemocracyNow.org - A new study reveals that 25 of the nation's largest corporations paid more money to their CEOs last year than they did to the federal government in income taxes. Often using overseas tax havens, many of the corporations managed to make billions in profits but paid little to nothing in federal taxes. In many cases the companies received large tax rebates. The list includes some of the country's best known companies, such as Ford, Coca-Cola, Verizon, General Electric and eBay. The same study found that the ratio of CEO pay to that of the average worker in the United States jumped to 325-to-1 last year. Democracy Now! speaks to the study's co-author, Chuck Collins, a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies and director of its program on Inequality and the Common Good. "What these companies do is they use a variety of tax loopholes, corporate loopholes to gain down their taxes. These are what I would call the champions in the tax gymnastics department," says Collins.

Setting CEO Pay Executive Compensation

In 1980, the average CEOs compensation was about 42 times what the average worker was paid, and by 2007, CEOs received about 344 times the average worker salary. Theres a debate over whether this ballooning of executive compensation is a failure of corporate governance, evidence of abuse of power, or just a reflection of market forces -- that top CEOs must be paid top dollar, or theyll take their (presumably irreplaceable) talents to other organizations. But how do companies arrive at these astronomical sums?
In this edition of SmithBusiness Close-Up with the University of MarylandsRobert H. SmithSchool of Business, Michael Faulkender, assistant professor of finance, shares his findings from research into executive compensation practices and how firms decide what to pay their CEOs. Faulkenders research focuses on empirical corporate finance, primarily in the areas of capital structure, risk management, corporate, liquidity, and executive compensation. His research has received recognition and awards from top academic journals and he has been awarded a research grant from the FDICCenter for Financial Research, which was accompanied by an appointment to serve as a fellow of the center during the term of the grant. He is a member of the American Finance Association, the Western Finance Association, and the Society of Financial Studies.

Lyrics:
Yo,
Tell me fellas have you seen her? (Seen her)
It was about five minutes ago
When I seen the hottest chick
That a young'n
Never seen before
I said Yo,
Tell her girls I want to meet her (meet her)
On second thought that ain't the way to go
I got give her game proper
Spit it so she'll get it
There she is I got to stop her
Or should I talk about her smile? (It's been said before)
Or what about her style? (Too obvious)
I'm out of time
She's out the door
I got to go for mine
I think I'll say
Yo
I don't know your name but excuse me miss
I saw you from across the room
And I got to admit that you got my attention
You're making me want to say yo
I know you're trying to leave but excuse me miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me oh baby

Joe Downey, EVP and global client advocate at Willis, joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWise 2015: NAREIT’s Law, Accounting and FinanceConference held in Phoenix.
Willis is a leading global risk advisor, insurance and reinsurance broker.
Downey observed that the property insurance market is a particularly low-priced environment at this time.
“With returns down for so many different classes of investment, people have sought higher returns in the insurance market. Right now there’s a tremendous amount of capital chasing return in the insurance industry,” he said.
Asked how REITs should take advantage of the trend, Downey urged the sector to be “smart” with regard to how it presents itself to the insurance marketplace.
“As these greater pools of high-end capital come in they are seeking a pretty sophisticated set of data points from the REITs to be able to estimate what their costs should be… how much credit they can give them,” he said.
Downey also urged REITs to consider a wide swath of insurance companies, including those located abroad.
Meanwhile, Downey said REITs should be prepared for the point when capital exits the insurance market. Downey pointed out that REITs would be advised to hold back funds that would be spent on insurance, and do other things from a risk management standpoint.
Turning to potential cyber liability issues facing REITs, Downey said the industry faces more of a threat from classified business information being stolen than credit card information.

Welcome to Houston, Texas, one of the largest cities in the United States.
Once an outpost in the Old West, Houston is now a down-to-earth metropolis, boasting a tremendous shipping and energy industry, as well as plenty of culture.
Kick off your Houston tour at Discovery Green, a 12-acre park tucked beneath the city’s skyscrapers. You’ll find public art and plenty of space to picnic or go for walks. Houstoners take pride in their various parks, museums, and open spaces, like the Houston Arboretum, where you can go birdwatching, learn about green living, and hike the trails to explore local wildlife.
Speaking of exploring, your Houston sightseeing should include a trip to the USS Texas., This battleship served in two World Wars and now stands guard as a museum on the Buffalo Bayou. Head over to the Gulf for a walk on the beach while you watch the sunset, then get ready to gear up for the evening with some delicious TexMex shared with the locals. After you lose yourself in a few rounds of line dancing to burn off all those fajitas, you’ll be wondering why you didn’t come to Houston earlier.

The west of North America is full of amazing contrast and stretches from the pretentious world of the Hollywood glitterati to a landscape that is both natural and spectacular. This journey features some unique and impressive sights such as the historic rock settlements of the Native American Indians and fascinating salt deserts and volcanic areas.Los Angeles is synonymous with Hollywood and it was here that this amazing city attained worldwide fame. The Sidewalk Of Fame is covered with brass stars that bear the names of famous celebrities of both past and present. Universal Studios is the largest and most active film and television studio in the world as well as providing a popular day out for the family and is one of the most successful amusement parks in the U.S.A. Death Valley covers an area of around ten thousand square kilometres. Around a fifth of the region is located at or below sea-level. During the gold rush of the nineteenth century it was through here that thousands of pioneers took a short cut while journeying west. They eventually arrived in a valley that offered no further way forward. Weakness, hunger and lack of water combined to create the name of this treacherous valley. Las Vegas is like a mirage in the desert, awake day and night it is THE entertainment capital of the world. The Bellagio is a return to the exclusive nature of the casino hotels of the past in which luxury is at its zenith and an investment of nearly two billion dollars speaks for itself. Sixteen hundred metres deep and sixteen kilometres long the Grand Canyon is the most colossal gorge in the world. The sight of this gigantic natural wonder is the climax of any trip to Arizona and each year around five million visitors come to see this, the ‘Eighth Wonder Of The World’.

The Blockchain and Us (2017)

A film by Manuel Stagars
http://www.blockchain-documentary.com
In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto invented bitcoin and the blockchain. For the first time in history, his invention made it possible to send money around the globe without banks, governments or any other intermediaries. The concept of the blockchain isn’t very intuitive. But still, many people believe it is a game changer.
Economist and filmmaker Manuel Stagars portrays this exciting technology in interviews with software developers, cryptologists, researchers, entrepreneurs, consultants, VCs, authors, politicians, and futurists from the United States, Canada, Switzerland, the UK, and Australia.
The Blockchain and Us is no explainer video of the technology. It gives a view on the topic, makes it accessible and starts a conversation...

Mastering Returns - Getting the Best Value from Your Excess and Returned Inventory

A provocative look at capitalism and its unintended price of success. The film tracks the changing landscape of business with the rising tide of conscious capitalism through the stories of local entrepreneurs who have found innovative ways to bring humanity back into business.
The traditional form of capitalism is putting a product or service to the market and making money. However, some businessmen contemplate that the real entrepreneurship is to figure out how the world is better off because of your product or service and bring that into the marketplace.
Business is a kind of construct for people to get together to achieve some kind of result, so why not take business as a tool to achieve more progressive result. Instead of seeing capitalism as an evil which's destroying humanity on the planet you can take capitalism and use it with a conscience to create a purposeful result... adjust and equitable society.
Twentieth century model of capitalism has one rule in its operating system which is: The purpose of the corporation is to maximize shareholder value exclusively even if that means that there are significant, for the benefit of the doubt, unintended consequences.
But new communications channels, like social media primarily, are driving transparency into companies. They can't get away with careless behavior anymore. They need to be very, very diligent about how they serve the community. That's driving corporate social responsibility, it's driving better governance and it's certainly driving sustainability. That's has been constant trend over the last 15-20 years.
The baby boomers' generation grew up in a world with one motto "If I have stuff I am successful." This shaped the minds of that generation, so by the time the baby boomers got in control of the economy, in the 1980's, excess was everywhere. It became all about stuff. Corporations became about adding book value for shareholders, not adding societal value for all stakeholders.
In the last 50 years of business companies are rewarded based on success of one metric and that's profit. CEOs who are successful deliver profit to shareholders. Our entire stock exchange is founded upon that so it's hard for us criticize the CEOs for forsaking other things like supplier relations or social impact or other causes.

Debate on Education with Paul Howard-Jones, professor of Neuroscience and Education at the UK'sUniversity of Bristol. Howard-Jones stands out for being a former teacher and inspector of schools, and now a researcher and worldwide point of reference for the development of studies into how to apply neuroscience to improve teaching and learning.Event organized by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Open University of Catalonia) and the Jaume Bofill Foundation, with the collaboration of MACBA.

SUMMARY
A dialogue needs to take place between neuroscientists and educators particularly with regard to breaking neuromyths - theories that have become deep-rooted among teachers and which have no scientific basis. Educators also need to be aware that brain development is effected by the environment and, in the case of children and young people, school is one of their main environments.
Neuroscientific research demonstrates that, although there are parts of the brain that play a more significant role in certain actions, the brain actually works as a unit, with major highways that interconnect different points. Different parts of the brain are involved in every action.
Breaking neuromyths
Drinking lots of water has not been demonstrated to help brain function in terms of attention. Neither has brain shrinkage been demonstrated in cases where little water is consumed. The brain is already working to ensure equilibriums in the body are maintained: the thirst mechanism is there to prevent us from dehydrating. What has been shown is that excess water leads to a lack of concentration.
Sugar has not been demonstrated to be harmful to the brain. On the contrary, sugar can actually help with attention levels. It can be harmful to health for other reasons, but not with regard to its effect on the brain.
So-called brain gymnastics, involving a set of physical exercises with specific movements that promote coordination, have no beneficial effect on the brain.
There is no evidence showing improved results with regard to learning styles based on the idea that individuals favour one of the senses for receiving information.
Contrary to popular belief, the continuous consumption of caffeine decreases cognitive ability.
While it is true that the brain exhibits greater plasticity prior to the age of three and that this is a more intensive period in terms of learning, it is also true that the brain maintains its plasticity throughout life and is constantly remodelling itself. Investment in higher education has been reduced in Britain due to the belief that we must focus investment on the initial stage of education, as it has the potential to provide greater economic return.
Statements that are based on neuroscience
Visual games and counting on fingers improves mathematical learning potential. The visual representation benefits information retention.
Dyslexia or dyscalculia can be improved with specific exercises. It is not an irreparable problem.
Aerobic exercise is extremely beneficial for the brain. Improving the ability to think and be attentive, promoting faster responses and executive function capacity.
Our brains consolidate what we have learnt during the day while we sleep. It is therefore very important to sleep well and for a sufficient period of time. Cultural actions and changes are needed, principally with regard to the habits of adolescents, who tend to go to sleep late and use technology prior to going to sleep. These are two habits that have negative effects for learning (it has been shown that watching television, using computers, etc., before sleep adversely affect restorative sleep).
Staggered learning (with a break between periods of learning) is more beneficial than continuous learning.
Games and reward in brain stimulation
Games result in chemicals being produced in the brain that improve memory and learning. Excitement produces dopamine.
This brain response is more beneficial when there is an awareness that a certain action will result in a reward and even more so when that reward is uncertain (maintaining the excitement for longer).
That is why games are useful tools for learning. There are currently 80 schools in Britain operating on that premise, involving 10,000 children aged between twelve and thirteen.
When games are used in learning, the brain network is activated and the “auto pilot” mechanism, which causes us to disconnect from that going on around us and think about ourselves, remains switched off.
